Cologne-based Inficon GmbH, one of the leading manufacturers of instruments and devices for leak testing, presents the network-compatible version of the Contura S400 leak tester. It can be used to quickly and reliably test the leak-tightness of a wide variety of food packaging on production lines or in the laboratory in a non-destructive manner.
A new feature is the option of efficient Data integration of the device: The enhanced software now also transmits the measurement results in real time to the control centre.
If a package has a leak, the problem is displayed there immediately and the operating personnel can intervene immediately in the production of the current batch. online and without time delay to the production host computer.
Fast and reliable
This allows employees to React immediatelyas soon as a packaging problem occurs in a batch. At the same time, problems inherent in the system are also recognised in real time, which makes the Scrap quantity reduced.
The functional principle of the Contura S400 from Inficon: It creates a warm and cosy atmosphere in its flexible foil chamber. Vacuumso that the films fit snugly against the packaging to be tested. If there is a leak, gas flows out of the packaging into the Vacuumised test chamberand this The device measures pressure increases within seconds.
This means that even leaks of a size less than ten micrometres reliably, a sensitivity that no other test method currently achieves. Food producers use the Contura to ensure that no defective packaging reaches the market.
Unlike the Water bath method The intact packaging is not damaged and is sold as normal.
